Boss Denies An Employee's Vacation Time, But He Retaliated And Resigned
Family is more important than a job.
We're going to look into another viral TikTok today about something pretty common that a lot of people do, have done, or would do. We love covering TikTok videos because they're super popular and very entertaining to watch.
That's why we wanted to take a look at this viral TikTok created by someone who wanted to tell a story about how they quit their job. Usually, jobs provide some vacation time or allow you to request days off, but they don't necessarily have to grant them.
That's what happened here; the boss decided to deny the requested vacation time. Sometimes, bosses definitely take advantage of their employees, and sometimes they decide to retaliate.
Employees usually prioritize their family and having vacations or holidays with them, so they may be willing to quit their job over a denial of time off. We're going to talk about and share a TikTok video of a guy who went through this and needed to quit because he was denied time off.
If you want to see the video and hear what people had to say, then keep reading as we dive into this situation.
Vacations are something that we all love to enjoy, and it's unfortunate to have to ask an employer for permission to take one.

Here is the whole TikTok video so you can hear it from Newman himself about what happened and how he reacted.
Some of us might agree with his decision to quit, while others might think that he lost out on an opportunity. However, I would consider that choosing family over a job.
Some comments were in support of his decision to quit after being denied the time off.

Family over your job any day, and I think that a lot of people would agree with this.

Employers really need to be more understanding and accommodating when it comes to time off because their employees deserve it.

This applies to scheduling too because jobs can be dramatic. Either you work with the availability I have, or you don't work with me at all.

I feel like it should be more of a heads-up, not a request at all. It's just a way to inform your employer that you won't be at work those days.

We don't blame the TikToker for making the decision to quit his job after being denied time off. We really don't even think it should be considered a request; it should be more of a heads-up about what days you'll be out of work.
Would you do this as well, or would you stick it out and cancel your trip?
